“Climb up Queenstown Hill/Te Tapanui for a 360-degree panorama from the summit a mountain of intense sacredness.”
Located in the heart of Queenstown, the Queenstown Hill Time Walk is one of the most popular and accessible walks in the region.
The demanding 1.5km walk up Te Tapunui is built to show the past, present and future of Queenstown. Along the track are 6 information plates and illustrations about different time periods in Queesntown's history including Maori settlements, the goldrush and the development of Queenstown to Adventure Capital of the World.
The track winds through pine forest as you climb, before breaking out above the treeline where you will be rewarded with spectacular views of the Remarkables, Cecil Peak, parts of Lake Wakatipu and the Kawarau river. At the top is the infamous 'Basket of Dreams' sculpture.
